We report a quantitative investigation of direct electron beam writing in monolayer films of passivated gold nanoclusters. In this process, the passivating organic ligands are (partially) removed to create gold-based ...

A quantum network is an open system consisting of several component Markovian input-output subsystems interconnected by boson field channels carrying quantum stochastic signals. Generalizing the work of Chebotarev and ...

We establish a quantum functional central limit for the dynamics of a system coupled to a Fermionic bath with a general interaction linear in the creation, annihilation and scattering of the bath reservoir. Following a ...

The technique of radio tomography has developed during the past fifteen years from a theoretical concept to an established experimental method, used for geophysical investigations ofsolar-terrestrial processes. It also has ...

In this paper, we consider stochastic Schrödinger equations with twodimensional white noise. Such equations are used to describe the evolution of an open quantum system undergoing a process of continuous measurement. ...

Low-density zeolites collapse to the rigid amorphous state at temperatures that are well below the melting points of crystals of the same composition but of conventional density. Here we show, by using a range of experimental ...

In the present paper the splitting of sectoral () helioseismic eigenmodes (f- and p-modes) is studied in the presence of a magnetic atmosphere. The solar interior is in a steady state, with sub-photospheric plasma flow ...

In the present paper the splitting of sectoral (m=+/- l) helioseismic eigenmodes (f- and p-modes) is studied in the presence of a magnetic atmosphere. The solar interior is in a steady state, with sub-photospheric plasma ...

We describe an approach to the computation of symbolic resultants in which factors are removed during the course of the calculation, so reducing the stack size required for intermediate expressions and the storage space ...

We consider the following stochastic approximation algorithm of searching for the zero point x∗ of a function ϕ: xt+1 = xt − γtyt, yt = ϕ(xt) + ξt, where yt are observations of ϕ and ξt is the random noise. The step sizes ...

We consider an open model possessing a Markovian quantum stochastic limit and derive the limit stochastic Schrodinger equations for the wave function conditioned on indirect observations using only the von Neumann projection ...

The first analysis of 10 yr of solar mean magnetic field data from the Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network (BiSON) instrument at Sutherland, SA is presented. Long-period (>1 d) variations correlate well with those observed ...

Synchrotron–laser pump-probe (PP) luminescence measurements have been undertaken in hexagonal-phase boron nitride. For non-resonant excitation below the boron K-edge, the dynamics of the transients induced by the application ...

We consider three-dimensional clusters of equal-volume bubbles packed around a central bubble and calculate their energy and optimal shape. We obtain the surface area and bubble pressures to improve on existing growth laws ...

This abstract investigates whether there is an obvious correlation between transient lunar phenomena and Earth tides on the Moon, as has been claimed in past publications. Aristarchus Crater observations are used in this study.

The magnetic breakout model gives an elegant explanation for the onset of an eruptive solar flare, involving magnetic reconnection at a coronal null point which leads to initially enclosed flux 'breaking out' to large ...

Many traditional two-dimensional models of flares and other reconnective events rely on an X-point in the corona which collapses to form a current sheet where reconnection takes place. However, the Sun's corona is ...

Experiments on a small cluster of bubbles in a nominally two-dimensional foam show an instability in which a topological change forces one of the bubbles to be ejected to the outside of the cluster at ap oint where this ...
